Creach Bheinn, Mountain summit in Morvern, Scotland.
Description
Creach Bheinn is a mountain in Morvern, Scotland, rising 853 meters with ruins of a shelter and former survey marker at its summit. The surrounding slopes feature multiple ridges and a varied landscape of rock and moorland.
History
Early surveyors established a camp near the summit, leaving behind ruins that remain visible today. These structures mark the mountain's role in historical mapping efforts across the Scottish Highlands.
Culture
The name comes from Scottish Gaelic and means 'Hill of spoil', reflecting the linguistic traditions of this Highland region. This Gaelic heritage is woven into the landscape itself.
Practical
Start at the parking area on the west side of Glengalmadale bridge, then follow a track through Glen Galmadale toward the mountain base. The path is generally clear, but expect rough ground and prepare for changing Highland weather.
